Source: World Bank databases. Note: Sector Boards for which 100% of projects are assigned to non-affiliated themes do not have affiliated themes. ARD=agriculture and rural development; ED=education; EMT=energy and mining; ENV=environment; EP=economic policy; FPD=financial and private sector development; GIC=global information and communications technology; HE=health, nutrition and population; PR=poverty reduction; PS=public sector governance; SDV=social development; SP=social protection; TR=transport; UD=urban development; WA=water.
10, and to PSG as a non-affiliated sector was 19 percent; it was 7 percent for the environment theme and 4 percent for the social development and gender themes.
Environment Based on the sector/thematic allocation, environmental themes do not appear to have been mainstreamed across the Bank’s portfolio, and there is some evidence of a declining trend over time. ENV has been flagged as a theme in 19 percent of the operations approved during FY07-10, which is less than the 26 percent in FY95-98 period. Operations mapped to other Sector Boards allocated an average of 7 percent to the ENV theme in FY07-10, compared to 9 percent in FY95-98. Moreover, projects mapped to the ENV Sector Board are becoming more specialized over time as stand-alone environmental projects, rather than closely linked to activities in other sectors. Allocations to non-affiliated themes among operations mapped to the ENV Sector Board declined from an average of 33 percent during FY95-98 to 21 percent during FY07-10.
